Old -Fashioned Courtesy

Don't just pretend that you love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Stand on the side of the good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy in your work, but serve the Lord enthusiastically."1

It has been said that the job of the preacher is to comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable! So here goes!

I often hold the door open for people when entering or exiting a restaurant or store—be it for a woman or a man, the young or the old, a boy or a girl. Most are appreciative and say thank you, but quite a few don't bother to say anything. I'm often tempted to say, "You're welcome," anyhow, but bite my tongue.

And it never ceases to amaze me how many people ask me via email to do something for them without saying please, thank you, or anything courteous—not to mention drivers who cut in front of you on the highway, etc., etc.

Or like I've said before about the many people who just leave their shopping cart out in the parking lot for someone else to put away … some even leave them in car parking spaces. And what about people who throw their garbage out of their car window and litter the magnificent highways we are so privileged to have, at least where I live? And what about those who dump their empty beer and soft drink cans and trash along hiking trails in our beautiful forest and mountain areas?

I can't help but wonder how these self-centered, thoughtless folk act at home?

Whatever happened to old-fashioned courtesy—thinking of others, saying please and thank you, cleaning up our own messes, picking things up after ourselves, and fixing what we break?

In the early church Christians were known for their love for one another. Would to God that this were true today. Love is always expressed, not in what we say or in what we believe in, but in what we do and how we treat others. And I don't think we can have love without courtesy and thoughtfulness towards others. Furthermore, it's the little things—not the big things we do—that define who we really are.

Let's make sure we reflect the love of God and Spirit of Christ in everything we do and say. "WWJD—what would Jesus do?" is still a good principle by which to live.

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, again today I pray, please help me to be as Jesus to every life I touch and give me the wisdom to know what you would do in situations where I am not sure how to act. May I be known for my love and concern for others and always be Christ-like and courteous in every situation. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus' name, amen."

Violence

Psalms 17:4,5
I avoid the paths of violent people, my steps stay on paths, brother do not reattribute violence with violence instead show the person that the spirit of God dwells in you.

Love and humility is the chain that never breaks.

Your humble servant,Pr.Miguel

Does Jesus Care?

"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."

Pr.Miguel , your humble servant

Pride and Humility

I had a blessed day, due to the fact i was i little bit traumatized-by family debacles, but but i try not to bring my familiar matters or contradictions, to the world wide web, if i am suffering with any personal issue, i make sure the net or msn,sms,fb,twitter is not the place to solve them, that's one of the reasons I closed my FB, today i only have my twitter and my blogs, but its not for my personal issue or use.

I may be angry with someone, or even be on the right side, I always find in me a time to let the anger disappear, and tell the person i am sorry, or forgive me, that's true Christianity, But have you seen those persons that let PRIDE rule over them, they offend you,they call you names, or even do terrible thing to you, they can be 100% wrong but they never humble and say, my friend i am sorry, or I apologies for the harm i caused to you, instead they wait for you to say sorry and that glory just lifts them up.

Dear bloggers, friends and follower's, you can be right all the time but remember that Jesus, hated the pride, and he always embraced the humble.

Jesus hated the pride so much that he made parables of them Luke 18.9 to 14, I dont teach you out of my own pride, or because of my academical understanding, I teach out of the grace of our Lord Jesus, and the teaching he left.

So what I ask of you, dont be an anorexic person, people that suffer from anorexia, think they are fat while they are thin and dying, go out there and say sorry, forgive me, dont let the person go to the grave with a anger about you.

Humble, humility brings exaltation from God.  We read that blessed are the meek, but we prefer to exalt before the next? If Jesus were-born today, we would find in a Mary, who found favor before God to be humble (Luke 1:48)

God bless you, I love you all.
Next to that great man,of God,and my spiritual father too (David Miranda), and  father of nations with over 1 million churches worldwide, is my humble mother Amelia Miguel, meeting a humble man, who does not care about money,or fame, but loves humbleness and souls.

Family and love

Shalom,greetings dear bloggers, and readers, sad,sad, it's like what the scriptures says what gaineath a man to gain the whole world and losing is salvation, and it's the same thing I will say, a man without family is a lost man,

No money can buy love of a family, even if you had a bad past with your family, family is family, and love is love.

One cannot enter the kingdom, with hatred among family, every Jesus went his brothers,mother were always there.

I love all my family, no family is perfect family, but all famiies have a drop of love in them.

Today and Wednesday during my sermon, I will pray for all families.

Love.Pr.Miguel- broadcasting from Arima T&T

Tomorrow will be a blessed day,

Sunday here come to step on head of satan, be blessed all my bloggers and out there.

I love you Pr.Miguel

Souls

Souls, 
Greetings beloved, once more is Pr.Miguel, it was a blessing being on the altar of God, today I spoke about the calling for gaining souls, Proverbs 11.30 wise is he who gain souls.

It is very sad to see day, and nite and hear or see, young man and woman die without knowing the Savior Jesus Christ, I recall last note when I felt so bad watching on tv on national geographic, and they had a special program about young people on gangs and drugs, and some of them are just 15 to 17 years old of age...
I saw that and just cried and wished there was more as Christians that we can do,it is the duty o every man kind to win souls for the kingdom.

Mark.16.15 the scriptures tell us that every soul that has breath must become fisher of men, believe me dear readers at the end of the day, it is me and you that will reap and enjoy the fruits o life. Because you used the talents that God gave you.
today I have a curriculum that is very good looking before men,but before God I still have to achieve more for the kingdom,.

So dear brother go out there and step on the head of that devil and win that soul for God.

Thank you and please support my blogg. With whatever you can.

Love Pr.P.Miguel

Your Blessing is sitting next to you

greetings me fellow bloggers and followers, It was a blessing today in church, we are on the third week of the campaign my plans and project in the hands of God, today the auditorium was packed with souls by the grace of God.

bad traffic but still manage to arrive in time and do what God ordered me to do, reach for the souls for his kingdom, today i really had nothing prepared to teach, but as Christian and a common thing this this happens to me, i can study the bible and prepare this very appealing message, but when you get to the altar God tells you my son, i am sorry but I am the boss here, so you preach what i tell you to preach.

And today was one of those days,God spoke.. it was fun and nice to hear God speak. and the all message was about communication, how many of you go to church and you sit next to the same person every Sunday or Friday service, and yet you dont even know who the person is, all this because of lack of communication with the brother or sister, or even the old man and lady, that maybe you ignore because of pride, and yet both of you are praying and worshiping the same God, and aiming for the same Kingdom and trying to get to the same heaven.

Jesus once told (Leviticus 19.18) Mathew 19.16), a man to love his neighbor as he loves himself, in other words communicate, talk  to him, when he is on pain assist him, if he is mourning mourn with him.
This is the love that Jesus want us to share amongst brothers, friends and relative.

When i was living in the Phillipines - MANILA, I meet a sister in church, she was a young graduate, and was trying to get a job at this Marketing company, quite a big firm in the country, and the owner of this company was a member of the church she sat next to him every Sunday and every church service,and one day I held a service and said look i want you to pray for the person next to you, then get to know thy neighbor.

After the prayers I asked, I just felt buy the holy Spirit to ask who wants to testify, and she came in front crying and saying pr, i have been sitting to this brother here, for the past one year in church and i never got to know him better, and he is the owner of the company i am trying to get a job in , and every-time i tried I was never successful, and while the blessing is sitting next to me every Sunday and Friday service.

So making the long story short, most of the times you pray to God to help you through something and he has responded long time, but because of you ignorance,or pride, the blessings slips just before your eyes.

Today you are divorced or going through a terrible ordeal in your relationship, just because , you forget to tell your wife honey I LOVE YOU, then when she will find that person who will have the the time to tell her I love you it will be to late,  dont be ignorant or dont let pride deceive you.

In your mind your wife and child knows that you love them but, dont miss an opportunity to tell them,.it will make them feel better.

The guy who sits next to you in church is ugly, or even a drunkard but, speak to him get to know him he or she can be the key to what you are looking for, the blessing of the Lord will not always fall from heaven but yes God can use man to bless us or bless you.

I love you All,

Love.Pr.P.Miguel

 

Were is God?

Over and over we hear tragic stories about thousands of families being torn apart—grieving children losing parents; heartbroken parents losing children; homes totally destroyed; and despicable evil including criminals kidnapping orphaned children for their loathsome sex trade business.

Where is God at times like this? If we say God has nothing to do with these events, we will be seen as people who believe in a sadistic God who doesn't care. If we say that God causes or even allows such tragedies, again we will be criticized as believing in a God who doesn't care.

The fact is that God created mankind with a free will to choose whichever way he wanted to go. Tragically man chose to disregard God and go his own sinful way. Subsequently, we now live in a world that has been broken by sin and that by sinful mankind. Thus a more realistic question to ask is not, "Where is God," but "Where is man?" When mankind sinned, he left and separated us from God and in so doing divorced mankind from God's protection. When we leave God and go our own way (believing that we know better than God), we suffer the natural consequences. This happens at an individual level, a national level, and a world-wide level.

For just one example, the more that God's Word and Christian beliefs have been attacked and abandoned in the U.S.A., the greater has been the moral decline and the increase of national problems. This, too, has happened and will continue to happen worldwide as long as we are living in a world that is plagued by evil. In fact, according to God's Word, tragedies will continue and intensify until Jesus Christ returns and rules and reigns on earth as King of kings and Lord of lords.

My name is Pr.P and I am after souls not fame.... For I know my reward will be Great, follow my Blogg and be blessed..

I will miss you all

By the grace of the almighty God, June I will be going bak home,to be close to my wife and Son I think 1 year and 6 months, it is enought.
I just don't know how to approach my beloved brothers and sisters, in Christ.,but somehow God will help me, all I wished is that my family was closer.

Love.PR.P.Miguel

Your Presence is My Plesure

I dont need to be recognized by anyone, my glory is to make they know you from me the will never be a ME,all I want is for you to grow my LORD more and more, like the Seraffins that cover their face before YOU.
I too hide my face so that they will see your Glory in me,so from me you never hear ME all I want is for you to grow my LORD.
Holy of Holys, may your smoke hide me only your eyes will see me., underneath you mighty wings is my place of refuge., the will be my secret place., only your grace is sufficient for me and it a pleasure serving you oh LORD.

Thank you Lord for making me only depend on you, my brothers and all my loved one may forsake me or even disown me, But i know you will never abandon me.

Through many I have been, for your Glory,the end of the day you always refresh my soul, I love you and I thank teach me not to trust on man, for they see my talent and FEAR, but you see it as wisdom.

Love Pr.Miguel

Love you Mum

Shalom, as christian we are prepared to accept that death is part of life, as for the are two things in life that we cant hide or cheat, this is old age, and death.


Its issue that mankind cant run from it, or cheat, as to few months ago this year, death knocked on my family doors, un expectantly the victim was my beloved beautiful mom, Friendly, a woman of virtue, of good character and behavior, a woman who had love for everyone equally,.
During the last few years as to be exactly, she saw her in laws and sons giving her a gift of grand children. from Brasil to Angola, and South Africa, she was the to see her daughters in laws give birth to grand children. 


She treated all children equally and gave all of them equal love, but had a special care for me due to my deficiency of sickle cell, she always made sure I am fine, do you have your tablets with you? are you out on the cold,please put your jacket on. 


My first mission on the filed as a missionary, it was 1998 in Madagascar, I caught cholera, diarrhea, terribly sick and allot of spiritual battle, I remembering calling my mom and telling her that I cant do this, I want to go home, she never said son come back home son, she just encouraged me to stay and prayed for me.    


Her birthday is coming up, I am not the only one that misses her, but, Dad and all my brothers will be missing her.


As christian we must never make death a victim but all we are doing this month we just miss you and Happy Birthday vovo..

we love you,R.I.P

Your son Pr.Miguel

Tobago Island

It has been a great experience in Tobago, I firstly thank God, and  our lord Jesus Christ, secondly I would like to thank my best friend and a person that I admired as a parent figure Sister Monica, and the husband. my prayers go on for them.

I have been to Tobago before with my wife son and trust me the experience was not that great as this time I had the opportunity to explore more what God created, I have heard and seen about the coral life,of the deep oceans, but this time, I had the experience to see the fishes, and do a little snorkel and swim around with them, If you come to Trinidad, please visit Tobago, friendly people, and great beauty of Gods creation., perfect place for relaxation.

I had the opportunity to view some of the great landscapes and arquitechture  of Caribbean house designs and engineering, that's one of the things I love.

One thing, I missed though is my prayer meetings at the auditorium in Lahoya in Trinidad, but I praise God this Wednesday I will be back preaching and praying with my Trinidadian family in Christ, as my job is not here to tour, but to capture souls out of the hands of the devil,and gain them for the Kingdom of God. I prayed for all of you, stay blessed be blessed, and get blessed in Jesus name.

Love.Pr.Miguel
